612 Mike "The Pike" Moen - Neutralboy
Moen is back from the Bremerton woods with Neutralboy's latest Rock Polishing Machine. Vinyl-only. No streaming, no YouTube, no digital. Moen's been living off-grid for a year. No internet, no neighbors, half-mile walk to the end of the driveway. We get into what a year of homesteading has done to his songwriting.

611 No Doubt In My Mind
No Doubt's been doing their Sphere residency out in Vegas, and man, it gives me FOMO! Telling the whole story of when MxPx opened for them way back in 1997, our first bus tour ever. That bus got stuck on an elevated road and that was the last time we had it. The three feet of stage we had to play on in front of the drums. The British tour manager. The band themselves (always 100% awesome). Plus voicemails: Jason wants to know if Tony Kanal ripped off my look, a longtime fan calls in with a really thoughtful take on the Michael drama and a Wilco rec that gets me going about A.M. and Summerteeth, and a Star Wars debate that Robbie Aaron from Oceans Away calls in to agree on. Upcoming live dates: June 12 - Bremerton, WA - Free Mike Herrera solo acoustic show at Quincy Square (FIFA World Cup 2026 Bremerton Fan Zone Kick-Off Celebration) June 13-14 - Vans Warped Tour Washington, DC July 25-26 - Vans Warped Tour Long Beach, CA August 21-22 - Vans Warped Tour Montreal, QC August 22 - Goldfinger at the Hollywood Palladium, Los Angeles, CA (with The Vandals, The Suicide Machines, Pulley, and sullvn) September 5 - Punkadeka Festival, Milan, Italy September 12-13 - Vans Warped Tour Mexico City November 14-15 - Vans Warped Tour Orlando, FL Questions or comments?

Hannah from Carolina wants to know about Tom Wisniewski being our meet and greet talker, and asks what my dream job would be if it wasn't music.

609 Fourth Corner Punk Fest - Jesse Goodwin
Sat down with Jesse Goodwin, who runs Fourth Corner Punk Fest in Bellingham, Washington. Pennywise, Bouncing Souls, Suicide Machines, and The Vandals are headlining July 18 and 19. Jesse walks through the lineup (also playing are Good Riddance, Authority Zero, Bad Cop, Bad Cop, Diesel Boy, Bite Me Bambi, The Dollheads, War on Women, and Piñata Protest) and to talk about how he ended up running a punk festival. We get into year one at Evil Bikes (Face to Face, Strung Out, Teenage Bottlerocket, Guttermouth), the workload nobody warns you about, why Bellingham gets overlooked by touring bands and the ticket-bot mess we are all dealing with. Fourth Corner Punk Fest is July 18 and 19 at Evil Bikes in Bellingham, WA. All ages. Tickets and info: https://www.fourthcornerpunkfest.com/ Questions or comments?

607 Think Funny
This week I'm flying solo on the pod with show announcements and a round of your voicemails. Free Subscriber Sticker Link: https://forms.gle/kwYDM93UvCGgCdhp9 (While Supplies Last) Tour news includes a solo acoustic set at the World Cup fan zone in downtown Bremerton on Friday, June 12 (free as far as I know), all the MxPx Warped Tour dates, and a show coming up at Punkadeka Festival in Milan on September 5. I also talk about the Goldfinger drum heads in Seattle that everyone signed except me and why I had to clear that up. Your voicemails cover a few things: new songs on Warped Tour, waiting on a signature bass, why we still do free post-show meet and greets, and why so many stand-up comedians are MxPx fans. I shout out a few comedians I'm into, including Lee Hardin, Ian Fidance, Anthony Jeselnik, Adam Ray, and Scott Losse, and we close on the question that gives the episode its title: how do you think funny?

606 Reach Out All Night
Mike just got back from Denver and he's not done with your voicemails. Episode 606 wraps up the meet-and-greet conversation from Episode 604 with fan stories that span 1995 to today, plus cover song what-ifs, Screeching Weasel split ideas, show intros, and turning 40. Fresh off the Mission Ballroom in Denver with MxPx, Goldfinger, Zebrahead, and Homegrown, Mike opens with upcoming Warped Tour dates, a new album update, the Punkadeka Festival in Milan on September 5, and a Pacific Northwest show coming at the end of August (TBA). Then it's another round of voicemails responding to Episode 604's meet-and-greet moment, with fans from all over sharing what they actually saw at those shows. Mike also gets into the real story behind Left Coast Live, why his Orange Creamsicle Sterling by Music Man hasn't made it into an MxPx set yet, cover songs that almost were (The Clampdown, Highway to Hell), and what On the Cover 3 might look like. Plus: Mike gives himself a D in Spanish, shares his method for breaking creative blocks, breaks down the psychology of show intros, and talks turning 40 with no party.

605 You Spoke Up - The Pod Community Responds
Episode 605 opens with Mike addressing the wave of community response to last week's meet and greet voicemail, making clear this isn't a pile-on. It's a conversation. This week: Mike opens with a direct message to Michael, apologizing for how big the story blew up and inviting him to come on the podcast. Then: voicemail after voicemail from fans who were at the Charlotte show, The NorVa, Nashville, Chicago's Metro, Anaheim, DC, and San Francisco, all sharing their own meet and greet experiences and perspective on what went down. Callers include an attorney who was in the Charlotte line, a fan who hit the driving range with Mike in 1999 (and remembers Ghoti Hook as the opener), members of Too Bad Eugene, and Hannah from LA, whose question about Mike's background setup closes out the episode with a full show-and-tell tour. Also: New MxPx album update, and the end of the Find a Way Home era.
